And this is how the Democratic party gets pulled ever further rightward.

48. I don't think

like that. The Republicans recruited Rubio because he is Cuban and just taught him their Doctrine. He will get the Cuban votes and mostly white Republican vote, but he will have a hard time being the Republican standard bearer, because of white supremacists. He'll never drive the car, like Barrack Obama. He is just a token.

Rubio does not represent every Hispanic in Florida. Demographic changes are very important. Crist will have to move with those Demographics, it is not going to move with him. Crist is the one changing, as long as he goes into the communities, that many Republicans avoid. The Republican Party cannot exist, catering to the ideology of one Demographic.

About the Democratic party, the same had happened with their candidates. They placate to certain Demographics in order to win a General Election. That shift is changing though, because, the minority is becoming the majority in this country. Politicians will have to adjust their Policies towards those Demographics, because they want their share of the American Dream. Remember what Hillary Clinton thought about Obama when he first ran. The notion was that he couldn't win because he was Black. She was thinking about white swing voters. You can mo longer just depend on getting white swing voters to win. You need to get votes from every Demographic. The candidate, that can best do that, will win. And there are enough white voters in this country, that have the same aspirations as minorities. Many work and go to school with those minorities too. Whereas, most of those rural areas, have a very large percentage of whites, that hardly ever see Blacks,Hispanics or Asians.

Even that is in danger, because of population growth and immigration. As these areas get crowed with population growth, people tend to move further out. There is 315 million people in this country now but that number is expected to grow towards 400 million by 2050. And the fastest growth are among these many groups. That is why the politicians will have to adjust policies, or they want survive.
